Icons on Desktop are not contents of /home/laudaka/Desktop folder
Do you still have a "Desktop" directory inside your home? If not, create it. Open gconf-editor, browse to apps/nautilus/preferences, and make sure "desktop_is_home_dir"-key is not enabled. If that doesn't solve the problem, check the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs -file, and make sure it has the following entry in it: Code: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"

 * Antwoord van mcduck klopt:
 * Behalve dat het in MATE dan mateconf-editor moet zijn. En je moet naar apps/caja/preferences
 * Ook hier staat weer iets belangrijks in .config. (Ander voorbeeld: transmission-gtk heeft daar zijn torrents staan en de statistieken.)
